Abstract

Use of the CADILLIAC Risk Score can accurately identify patients for safe early discharge after PCI for STEMI. Early discharge has the potential to both improve the quality and decrease the cost of care for STEMI patients. Prospective validation of this risk score and formal cost analysis would facilitate widespread utilization.
